LAKE ZURICH DIVORCE LAWYER

Concentrating in family law, Illinois divorce lawyer Debbie Cohen passionately advocates for her clients’ rights. Her meticulous attention to detail and robust representation guarantee clients the justice and fairness that they deserve. Illinois’ no-fault divorce legislation simplifies the dissolution of marriages, but contested divorces tend to be challenging and emotionally taxing. Family lawyer Ms. Cohen is committed to providing the strong advocacy needed during such difficult situations.

LAKE ZURICH FAMILY LAW FIRM

In times of marital uncertainty, couples may consider legal separation as a step towards assessing their future. This legal arrangement offers similar benefits to divorce while allowing couples to maintain their marital status. Legal separation offers parties the ability to retain benefits that come with marriage, such as health insurance, tax filing status and retirement benefits. Debbie Cohen, an experienced divorce attorney, offers strategic guidance on legal separation and its implications.

DIVORCE & SPOUSAL MAINTENANCE

Spousal maintenance, formerly known as alimony, offers financial aid that one spouse may provide to the other during or after a divorce. The duration of spousal maintenance may vary from temporary to permanent, contingent upon the unique circumstances of the marriage. Ms. Cohen can assist in navigating the complexities of filing for spousal maintenance, considering factors like income, needs, and earning potential of each party, duration of the marriage, and any prenuptial agreements.

MARITAL PROPERTY SETTLEMENTS

Ms. Cohen concentrates in facilitating equitable marital property settlements for her clients. Debbie provides legal guidance tailored to each client’s unique circumstances. As an experienced divorce settlement attorney, she navigates complex financial matters, including property division and debt allocation, to achieve favorable outcomes for clients. Whether through mediation, settlement discussions or litigation, Debbie Cohen advocates for clients’ best interests.

CHILD CUSTODY & SUPPORT

Whether separated or divorced, Illinois law mandates that both parents contribute to their children’s upbringing. While parents can agree on child support arrangements, these must align with state guidelines. Illinois transitioned from a “percentage-based” to an “income share model” in July 2017, ensuring fair distribution of financial responsibility to each child based on each parent’s income. As an experienced divorce attorney and child support lawyer, Ms. Cohen will provide solid advocacy.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LAW

Ms. Cohen is an experienced domestic violence lawyer dedicated to providing compassionate and effective legal representation to individuals facing charges related to domestic violence.
